Una guía e itinerario para usar el blog en el aula como medio de expresión en textos multimodales con todas las inteligencias; reflexión, compromiso ciudadano, impacto social. Desde mi experiencia, lo que vale de veras es que el blog sea colaborativo y que se consiga el objetivo estrella: que los aprendices sean los protagonistas. El blog sirve para darle la vuelta a la clase y articular los nuevos roles del aprendizaje: docentes, procuradores de contenidos, (re)creadores. Delete the scoop?

It is my view that one of the most significant statements made by George Siemens is this one: "As knowledge continues to grow and evolve, access to what is needed is more important than what the learner currently possesses."
The role of teaching (and learning) then needs to shift in several ways to support this. How do we support students in selecting, discerning, organising this information and critically reflecting on it? How do we support students in creating new ways of evidencing their learning? How do we encourage students to create content themselves that adds to this growing and evolving abundance of information and knowledge generation?
"The Network is the Learning"....another of George Siemens' statements that resonates so well with me.
Connectivism is the integration of principles explored by chaos, network, and complexity and self-organization theories.
In a knowledge economy, the flow of information is the equivalent of the oil pipe in an industrial economy…
The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today. A real challenge for any learning theory is to actuate known knowledge at the point of application. When knowledge, however, is needed, but not known, the ability to plug into sources to meet the requirements becomes a vital skill. As knowledge continues to grow and evolve, access to what is needed is more important than what the learner currently possesses.
